I had many errands to run yesterday and was all over the map. During my jaunt I can't believe how many fast food places I passed that I used to frequent. I also stopped into a grocery store to pick up carb control wraps. My how I have fallen. I used to bang out a couple of candy bars and bags of peanut m&m's at the chekcout counter. Now, nothing.

The shame of it all is that I'm not even lean. I'm just less fat. I think the allure of those days was the convenience of it all. It's not like that food tastes all that much better than a lot of the food I prepare at home. Quality food tastes really good, but it takes time to prepare.

All this said I am not nearly as tempted as I used to be. That and I am feeling as strong as ever. The only thing that ever wants me to go back is when people say "Wow, you got smaller!" My wife quickly implores them to say "Leaner." Yes, I am doing better, but I could be nudged back into the life pretty easily.
